Precisely. Mass surveillance under the pretext of some fuzzy cyber warfare remit has a chilling effect. This does not have to be mentioned, it is just a silent fear thing. So if people self censor themselves then they never group to that 'far larger scale'.
Conversely the 'cyber 9/11' is if some idea - an idea that isn't limited to civil disobedience comes in a message where people don't self censor themselves then they could 'group to a far larger scale'. The status quo can't be threatened even by common sense ideas. So an idea in a message that 'goes viral' is the 'cyber 9/11' most feared. There is an art to controlling information in a democracy.
